PART TWO

TRIALS AND JUDGMENTS

The sound of screaming was repeated several times . . . then it abruptly ceased. The silence that followed, as the night suddenly stood still, seemed interminable. I wanted to run and yet didn’t move an inch. I was trembling, I believe from cold and shock. I told myself that I had to be quick and felt an irresistible weakness steal over me. I have forgotten what I thought then. “Too late, too far . . .” or something of the sort. I was still listening as I stood motionless. Then, slowly, in the rain, I went away. I told no one.

Unidentified woman in Kew Gardens, quoted in the Long Island Star-Journal, March 28, 1964
